Title: Public land PA gobbler down!
Post by: Ruger M77 on May 05, 2012, 09:57:25 PM
Got this one this morning on public land in schuylkill county I swear these are the toughest turkeys in PA lots of huntin pressure round here. Its a 2yr old 9 3/8'' beard 3/4'' spurs only 15lb lightest gobbler I ever shot. Didn't here a thing this morning but I did alot of scouting before the season and knew where they'd be. He never made a peep I was cuttin at him tryin to get him to gobble but he just half strutted and looked shotem at 30yds (http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l542/Turkey85/DSCN0012.jpg)

Congrats. Public land gobblers here in Pa. can be very tough. Bagging one on public property IMO just adds to the sense of accomplishment. Great job.

Nice Gobbler and your right I hunt Pa birds are tough, thats why I hunt out west  :agreed:
I shot a bird in Schuylkill co that was 15lbs 9oz and I heard of a few more that were in the 15 to 16 pound range wonder why?
